Superman #18/1975

In "Der Freiwillige, der ein Verräter war," Princess Projektra endures a devastating nerve plague, forcing the three Legionnaires present to each take an hour of her agony—only four hours remain, and the toll is already breaking them. While Waldwolf succumbs to madness, Saturngirl uses a specialized helmet to endure her hour, and Karateboy pushes through in total focus, only to collapse, Superman’s body proves immune—but when Karateboy, near death, drags himself to the device to take the final hour, knowing it will cost him his life, the true weight of sacrifice begins to unfold. Written by Jim Shooter and illustrated by Mike Grell, with cover art by Mike Grell, this 1975 issue from Egmont Ehapa delivers a gripping, emotionally charged moment in the Legion’s history.
